Superstar

In January, Park City was covered with snow and raging cold winds. Winter was originally a cold level. Park City, located in the vast land of the western United States, was even more inconspicuous and difficult to attract people’s attention. The Sundance held here It is naturally difficult for film festivals to enter the mainstream media's vision.

What's more, the Sundance Film Festival began on January 19th and lasted until the 26th. The Golden Globes, which attracted countless top superstars, arranged the fifty-second awards ceremony for the film in 1994. Held on January 21. Choosing between the Sundance and the Golden Globes is not a too difficult decision for reporters.

If you put it in the past, it is naturally the case, but this year is a little different, all because of one name: Hugo Lancaster.

The list of nominations for the 52nd Golden Globe Awards announced not long ago aroused extensive discussion.

In the competition for the Golden Globes this year, the three films "Forrest Gump", "The Years of Love" and "Pulp Fiction" plus a "Lion King" fought fiercely. As expected, "Shawshank's Redemption" has been silent for a long time, still has not attracted any attention from film critics, and was almost completely ignored at the Golden Globe Awards.

"Forrest Gump", "The Years of Love", "Pulp Fiction", "Behind the Scenes (. and "Nell's Heart (nell were among the top five nominations for the best film in the drama category; "The Lion King" , "Desert Enchantress (the.adventures.of., "Four Weddings and a Funeral", "Ed Wood (ed. and "Storm of Clouds (pret-a- are among the music Nominated for the top five for best film in comedy category.

The five nominees for the best director and the four seats for the best film in the drama category remain the same. The only change is that "Niel's Heart" was unsuccessful, and the director of "Natural Murder (Natural.. Oliver Stone was shortlisted. , And the five works nominated for Best Picture in the Musical Comedy category were wiped out in this department.

In terms of film nominations, "Forrest Gump" took the lead with seven nominations, "Pulp Fiction" followed closely with six nominations, and the "Burning Years of Love", which was once considered to be struggling with word of mouth, also received four nominations. Although "The Lion King" was limited by the "discrimination" of cartoons and lost in the process of nomination for best director, it still relied on its excellent soundtrack and won a total of four nominations-three of which were all for music related.

"Pulp Fiction" was nominated for three major awards, namely Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Screenplay in the drama category, and three nominations for Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Supporting Actress.

"Pulp Fiction" is the only work that can keep pace with "Forrest Gump" in the nomination stage. It is only one less nominated for the best film soundtrack than its opponents, which makes people look forward to this film at the award ceremony. Performance: Can it make further breakthroughs, once again create a new chapter in independent films, and break the monopoly of the eight major film companies on the award ceremony awards?

In terms of individual awards, Hugo received two nominations. The first one was naturally nominated for the best actor in a drama category. The outstanding performance in "Pulp Fiction" made Hugo the most powerful actor award this year. The contenders and the other four contenders competing with Hugo are Tom Hanks of "Forrest Gump", Morgan Freeman of "Shawshank's Redemption", "No one is a fool ('s. Paul Newman, Brad Pitt of "Love Years".

Morgan's representative of "Shawshank's Redemption" attracted the attention of many film critics, but after all, it was limited. People were more lamented that Tom was able to rely on the wonderful performance of "Forrest Gump" to win the Golden Globe winner, and Brad and Yu If these two rising stars can launch an impact-of course, it is indispensable, as well as the frontal confrontation between the two actors.

Just like the trend during the movie's release, although the overall quality of "The Years of Love" has been criticized, the two male protagonists Brad and Aidan have received a lot of praise. Among them, Aidan's acting skills have won more attention, but Brad’s popularity soared, and with the bonus of "Interview with the Vampire", Brad eventually completed the counterattack and replaced Aidan, a competitor of the same drama, and was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor. This is also Brad's first official nomination at the American mainstream awards ceremony, which is very meaningful.

Whether Hugo can overthrow Tom and what results he will achieve in the new round of contest with Brad, this is undoubtedly the hottest topic.

In the past two years, Hugo has won double nominations for leading actor and supporting actor, but all came home empty-handed. What is even more ironic is that Hugo has won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, but so far there hasn’t been any. Golden Globe trophy in hand. This is definitely a huge mistake for the Golden Globes, which is dedicated to combining the topicality and commercial value of the Oscars. Not to mention that the events after the 1993 Golden Globes were extremely unpleasant. Although the focus was on Hugo and Mr. Bond, the mistakes of the Golden Globe organizers should not be ignored.

Therefore, the Hollywood Foreign Correspondents Association will definitely not let this situation continue for too long. What's more, this time Hugo’s performance in "Pulp Fiction" also received a lot of applause, including the Cannes Film Festival and North America and Europe. Unanimous praise from film critics. Relatively speaking, Tom Hanks only relied on the "Philadelphia Story" last year to crown the Golden Globe and Oscar double actor, so it seems logical that the Golden Globe awards the actor's honor to Hugo.

Of course, all of this is just a prediction, and almost all the media have been talking incontrovertibly after the nomination list came out.

In addition to the nomination for the best actor in the drama category, Hugo’s other nomination is not the same as the best supporting actor nomination in the past two years. The performance in "Life and Death" did not win any nomination for Hugo, but Hugo Unexpectedly, his name appeared in the ranks of nominees for best screenwriter.

Don't talk about the media, even Hugo himself was surprised.

"Shawshank's Redemption" only won two nominations at the Golden Globe Awards, one is Morgan Freeman's Best Actor in a Drama Series, and the other is Frank-Delabont and Hugo Lancaster. Nominated for Best Screenplay.

Frank said in an interview that although Hugo and the crew missed it, he will never obliterate Hugo's contribution to the entire script, so he still added Hugo's name to the screenwriter lineup. Regardless of Hugo's attitude, this is at least his honest attitude.

As a result, Hugo inexplicably appeared in the best screenwriter nomination list, and the other four competitors were also familiar faces, namely "Pulp Fiction", "Forrest Gump", "Behind the Scenes Lies", and "Pulp Fiction". Four weddings and one funeral".

On the whole, this year’s Golden Globe nomination list is still full of topical issues. Not only is this a year when classic masterpieces have exploded, some people will naturally lose their nominations. Almost every film critic has a nomination in his mind. The list, so when the Golden Globe Awards announced the nomination results, it attracted countless media heated discussions; at the same time, because the competition for each award is so fierce-this is also the result of the continuation of the collection of classics.

Among them, whether Hugo can end his empty-handed situation at the Golden Globes is an important point to watch, not to mention that he is playing against another "Tom" Tom Hanks and Brad Pitt. This Although a three-person turn is also "Hugo, Tom and Brad", no one can predict what the result will be.

As the Golden Globe Awards ceremony approached, the list of guests was gradually announced, but after 1995, the media discovered one thing sensitively for the first time: Hugo’s name did not appear in the first three lists. This is definitely a huge question mark.

Don't say that Hugo is one of the most important points in the competition for awards. Simply speaking of Hugo's current momentum, it can be said that without Hugo, one-third of the focus is missing.

The reporters first asked the broadcaster of the Golden Globes TV station. They also said mysteriously "please look forward to the surprise", but when the reporter threw the same question to Rick Rosen, they got a meaningful answer. "Hugo just returned from vacation, we are still communicating about his next work arrangements, and there will be a result in the near future." Although Rick’s answer is completely objective and impartial, it is placed at this sensitive moment. , Reporters can completely interpret as: Hugo is not willing to attend the Golden Globe Awards!

Sure enough, the TV station kept covering up, but after the fourth batch of lists was announced, they finally couldn't hide it anymore. They "regrettably" announced that we will not see Mr. Lancaster at the Golden Globes this year. Up. The media exploded in an instant.

Many media are speculating that since the 1993 Golden Globe incident, Hugo was actually very dissatisfied with the handling of the TV station and the Foreign Journalists Association at that time. Last year Hugo missed the Golden Globe on the grounds of filming "Speed ​​of Life and Death". As a result, the Golden Globes ignored Hugo, making the hot Hugo completely invisible at the time, but who could have imagined that two months later, the Oscars would give the best supporting actor to Hugo, giving him the Golden Globe Award. Totally lost face~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This year, the Golden Globes have been begging Hugo to attend, but unfortunately Hugo is not cold about the Golden Globes. Even though the TV station and Rick continue to communicate and negotiate, there is still no Able to reach consensus. Therefore, the next Golden Globe awards trend has added more uncertainties.

Of course, all this is just speculation by the media. When the media interviewed Rick, he denied them all. He only said, “Hugo must start the promotion of the new work. At the Dans Film Festival, participate in this grand event of independent films. Unfortunately, Sundance’s time and the Golden Globes conflicted, Hugo was also very entangled and made a difficult decision. Regarding the absence of the Golden Globes, Hugo personally regrets that he will personally express his apologies to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association."

As a result, in an instant, the Sundance Film Festival, which was previously unpopular, became hot. Following Hugo, many reporters must also make a choice: Is it Sundance or the Golden Globe? Can the attraction of Hugo alone overshadow the shining Golden Globes?

It was not difficult for Nicholas McLenna to make a decision, so he appeared in Park City. Following Nicholas to make similar decisions, there were a large number of reporters. The sudden influx of these people was also a cold winter in Park City. It brings a touch of warmth, as if the steps of spring are already approaching. .
